I've got a Freedman denim shirt which I never really wear because I don't want to pay to wash it every time and it traps any environmental smells. The material is similar to http://i1.farfetch.com/10/06/54/71/10065471_348477_800.jpg (without the leather). It's smooth almost to the point of having sheen/luster

Also a pair of Marc Jacobs skinny jeans (2% elastane I think)

Do I need to follow their instructions or can I just cold wash and hang dry? My only concern is potential shrinking, they both fit well.

as long as they're not unsanforized or shrink to fit, you'll be fine with a cold wash and hang dry.

Went to the store to exchange the 26's, but they said they didn't have them (27's) anymore. They called me back when I got home, though, saying that it was in the wrong stack. Didn't want to go to SF again what with the heat and the cramped BART due to pride week, so I had them shipped (which is why it took a while).

27 PS:

here are the 26's again for reference:

I feel like a 26.5 would've been the perfect fit if it existed.

Also, how are the stacks looking? Am I doing something wrong?Edited by masshi - 7/4/13 at 1:33am

Although I believe you're more likely to get some color loss over time from washing over time than from dry cleaning, if you care. But cold washing and using woolite dark or dr bronners can help mitigate that.

I own a pair of Naked and Famous broken twill selvedge jeans that I have worn for at least two months. I'm able to button the top button, but they are pretty tight in the waist; they also tend to rise up in the crotch area. I've stopped wearing them because they are so uncomfortable especially for a college student walking around campus all day.

this would work but the rest of your jeans would shrink if you soak them in hot water. dye would definitely come off (more so with hot water than cold water) but it's not too difficult to get off of the tub.

I am looking to own my first raw denim. Unfortunately I can never find jeans that fit me. Above are a pair of tailored jeans for $45 from Dejour Jeans in Melbourne, Australia which have been hemmed and tapered. This was my first experience of well fitted jeans but to be honest I still don't think they look amazing on me. I have massive thighs but a 30 inch waist and short legs so they're basically stumps.

I would actually prefer for the denim shirt to fade. The sheen makes it look unused and prissy. I was mainly concerned about it affecting the weave/fabric integrity but it that should be fine.
